AGE DISTRIBUTION OF CASES. Local cases from May 1-June 15 (age data for cases lag by a day), including those with missing locations. Only a single category is provided for ages >70, which constitute 14% of all cases. ➡️data.cdc.gov.tw/en/dataset/ags… 3/5
Our local case fatality rate for May 1-June 15 is 3.7%—higher than the world average of 1-3%. This is at least partly due to a disproportionate number of older cases.
